CUBISM

• Began in Paris in 1907 by Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso
• A big influence on the two founders of Cubism was the Post-Impressionist artist, Paul Cezanne, who rejected traditional artists ideas on perspective
• The single viewpoint in nature was abandoned and scenes were depicted as geometric shapes
• Volume, space and time created multiple viewpoints
• African and Micronesian cultures were two of the most prominent influences on the development of cubism during 1907-1909
• Cubism can be divided into two different stages – Analytical and Synthetic
• Analytical Cubism –highly abstract, scenes, objects and figures. Broken down and reconstructed. The colour palette was often monochromatic.
• Synthetic Cubism – as the movement continued to develop, the artists started to incorporate real objects into their work. The subject in the images was starting to become more central rather than having other planes depicting its importance.
• Collages employing the subjects were constructed with addition of stronger colours
• It was a major influence on the Dada movement which in turn influenced Pop art

How to represent time in a photo

• Multiple exposures
• Long exposures
• Collages made of images taken at different times
• Images produced by cameras that expose over time with movement
